Help Lawrence replace the suspension and return to work
Lawrence's my delivery van is Lawrence's only source of income and needs a suspension replacement costing $1,050.

I make my living with my delivery van. 10 weeks ago the suspension failed, and the mechanic says the repair will cost $1,050. Without the vehicle I earn nothing.
I have been borrowing from friends to pay rent, and now I have run out of people to ask.
I support my family of five. Before the breakdown I worked nine hours a day, six days a week. I have been offered extra shifts for the next six months if I can just get the vehicle working.
I have a written estimate from a certified mechanic and will upload it here.
I'll pay the mechanic directly and show you the repaired vehicle in an update.
Where the $1,050 goes:
• suspension replacement (parts): $510
• Labor charges: $300
• Road tax and insurance renewal: $165
• Towing and inspection: $75
Glad we found this place.

Good news. Because of your gifts ($540 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
